+/08/2011 Access is possible through Back Door entrance but please observe the following guidance:
+Approach only from "The Gullet" at the junction with "Love Lane". there is a track through the woods from here all the way to backdoor (Back Door is the second gated entrance you come to - the first is the 'bat grille' and should not be used). This is private land so please be respectful of the landowner and show every courtesy. The owner has recently planted a screen hedge, please do not damage it. Please be quiet and dont shine lights at the houses.
+Our continued access here relies on good relations with the landowner.
